Episode 072: An Adult's Circumstances (2)

“There is a German urban legend called the Doppelganger. It's a pretty famous lore, does anyone know?"

Joon-young asked.

One of the members of Atlantica raises his hand.

Courtesy, that dangerous Japanese Yuna.

OK.

Everyone on the set looks at Yuna with tense eyes.

"Yes. Yuna Miss. Do you know what happens to someone who meets a doppelganger?”

Joon-young asked Yuna without hesitation.

On his face, she could see the confidence that she could cover almost any broadcasting accident.

Then Yuna proudly nodded her head and opened her mouth.

"Yes! I like that game, so I know. When you meet a doppelganger...”

She blurted her words for a moment.

“Die! The doppelganger is too strong. I can’t catch it unless it’s a four person pot.”

she said in a lively voice.

Everyone burst into laughter at the blunt answer.

Hopefully there will be a story related to the game.

Joon-young smiled slightly and nodded her head.

Then, Yuna's expression bloomed brightly like a cherry blossom in spring.

"Yes. According to her tradition, anyone who sees their doppelganger either dies or goes crazy and then dies.”

He raised his hand and made a 'click' sound.

A figure appeared on the screen of the person who had met the doppelganger.

“Surprisingly, similar content appears in Onggojipjeon in Korea. Although Onggojip does not die, he is in a situation worse than dying.”

A picture of Onggojip losing his home and leaving came to mind on the screen.

People nodded.

Because most of it was known.

But only one.

Yunaman, who came from Japan, was making an expression that she did not understand.

Then her members who were around her began to tell her about her little by little before her hard work.

The people in the audience looked at it with delight.

Joon-young continued her words.

“Come on then. What do the two traditions of the East and the West have in common?”

At that time, Kim Jung-sang, who was looking at Atlantica happily, opened his mouth with a playful expression.

“Should we beware of the guy who looks just like me?”

Then, small laughter erupted from the audience.

He was the one who talked a lot today.

Junyoung smiled and opened her mouth.

“Then the people here should be especially careful, right?

Yeonhee, a visual member of Atlantica, made a puzzled expression.

"why?

Junyoung looked at her and said slowly.“Because everyone is beautiful. Even if I’m a doppelganger, won’t I be the first to target you?”

Moment.

The faces of the members of Atlantica turned bright red. Everyone avoids Junyoung's gaze and bows their heads.

'uh? Isn't this?'

Joon-young was confused inside.

I thought people would get boos or other puns, but the opposite reaction came back.

‘I can’t catch the concept of flirting with comedians while everyone happily accepts the jokes that comedians throw.’

This was definitely the second duvet kick after the last Jaesu Academy.

Also on the airwaves...

Joon-young quickly regained his expression and continued talking.

“It’s a joke. If we go back and talk about it, both traditions are saying that the place of ‘I’ is in a very precarious place.”

Junyoung continued the story with a serious attitude.

“Those who cannot defend my position no matter how hard they try to claim that I am in the right place. I’m stuck with someone I met a doppelganger.”

“But perseverance does not give up. I can't give up. All the things that he has dedicated his life to accomplish cannot be taken away from the Scarecrow.”

“Because of this, he fights against fakes with things like ‘memories of his family’, ‘family history’ and ‘property list’ to prove that he is real.”

Then, on the screen, the real Onggojip and the fake Onggojip hold a trial in front of a judge.

Junyoung looked at the audience and said.

“But in the end, Onggojip is defeated by the fake and kicked out. Because people other than Onggojip judged ‘fake Onggojip’ to be ‘real Onggojip’.”

A scene appears on the screen where Onggojip leaves the house.

“But the funny thing is that the grounds for other people’s judgment that ‘fake’ is ‘real’ are things that he has been protecting all his life and valued more than anything else.”

“How did he feel when he realized that even the values ​​he held important to him could not protect him?”

After he finished speaking slowly, Jun-young turned to the people and clapped his finger with ‘just’.

Then the screen changes and the subtitles come to mind.

[What is the ‘life’ of an adult?]

After seeing that the subtitles came to mind, Junyoung continued.

“Now, I have seen that this contains the life of an ‘adult’ that our ancestors thought.”

Then, looking at the audience, they made eye contact with each other.

“That life is not ‘a life in which I exist alone’, but ‘a life that I create while forming relationships with beings other than myself’.”

A picture of Spinoza, one of the famous philosophers, comes to mind on the screen.

“As Spinoza said, 'Not only the essence of an individual, but also the existence of an individual is determined by other things.' do."

He glanced at the picture of Spinoza and looked at the people in the audience.

“‘In the end, personal desires that we say are important cannot protect you. What protects you, makes you, and defines you, is, in the end, your relationship with the external beings around you.’”

After he finished speaking, Junyoung put a tissue down for a while and then slowly opened his mouth.

“I think it was the Ongo Jipjeon that unleashed this thought.”

Then the people nodded with their sparkling eyes.

Jun-young took a serious look and smiled brightly.

“Of course, if Onggojip had lived such a life, his position would not have been taken away by the Scarecrow in the first place.”

He shook his head slowly and opened his mouth.

“But everyone. That's not to say that you should live a life of othering yourself. Not all human beings can and should not live that way.”

As Jun-young gently nodded, a rather long sentence came to mind on the screen.

Then some people burst out laughing.

Junyoung nodded and looked at them.

“Some of you seem to know right away. Yes. This is the first verse from Kafka's Metamorphosis. As it is a famous novel, everyone who knows it knows it, right?”

“What I am trying to say is that a nation must constantly recognize and understand the individual and the beings around me. The relationship and distance between me and the beings around me, it seems that ‘adults’ are the ones who worry about it. thank you."

In that way, Junyoung's first lecture ended with splendid applause.

* * *

After that, several more lectures were filmed.

Originally, it was planned to end with one lecture, but the broadcasting company, which was watching the ratings trend, brought up the story of contract extension first.

As long as it doesn't interfere with other things,

The lecture was conducted on a different topic than the previous one.

Anyway, the influence of over-the-air broadcasting could not be ignored.

After that, all of the adult ejaculation shots that I gave a lecture were aired.

[Mr. Junyoung Kim, I am a writer for MBM broadcasting station...]

[Teacher, I would like to take you once. Our broadcast...]

[We will personally visit and speak...]

I was getting calls from unknown numbers several times a week.

I don't know how they got my number, but most of them were calls asking me if I could give a lecture or appear on a TV show.

Among them, there were programs with good ratings, such as 'The Men Who Solve Problems' and 'Normal Dignity'.

However.

I turned down all those offers.

because.

[Teacher. When are you free this week? If you just let me know the date and time you want, I will visit the academy right away.]

Perhaps it was because they liked the contents of the adult situation, or because Globian, one of the largest publishers in Korea, had offered to publish it.

In fact, before contact came from the global side, there was a slight contact from the publishing house where Ji Sung hyung had been before.

However, he did not like the conditions offered by them, so he refused.

No, I have to be at what level of emotional sales I have to be in publishing strategy and nothing else, just saying things that catch the cloud, so it was a waste of time later.

‘I would rather publish on my own.’

But Globian was different.

Book publishing experience in various fields.

strong financial strength.

The editorial team and planning team are composed of professional manpower.

Huge amount of own database.

It even provides a writing space where writers can focus on writing.

I gained confidence because he clearly presented my plans before, during, and after writing the book at the first meeting.

oh shit

‘If the teacher wishes, we will also support overseas field trips.’

At this point, I was afraid of something.

To be honest, I haven't had my abilities as a writer been verified, because I didn't know what I believed in and gave me such an all-out effort.

But as I thought about it slowly, I thought I could understand why they were making such forward-looking proposals.

In a narrow market like the Korean publishing market, the content of a book is of course important, but similarly, the cover of the book is also important.

Although it was bittersweet, the reality of the current Korean publishing market is that the number of copies sold before the book is even released is different depending on the social position of the person who writes it.

Anyway, because of that, these days, whenever I have free time, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer.

The publishing company told me to write it in a way that I didn't overdo it, but there was still a sense of ignorance and there was a deadline.

So, I was just typing on the keyboard late into the night.Inwardly, Il-han's feelings were understood.

But then.

Good profit- Cheokkong-

There was a sound of an iron door opening on the first floor of the building where the academy was located.

For a moment, I was startled and stopped my hand from tapping the keyboard.

The time is already 11:30.

It was approaching midnight.

Anyone who can open the iron door on the first floor of the building and enter the building at this time,

As far as I know there was none.

I wondered if one of the merchants on the first floor had a job and came in.

Touk-tuk-tuk-tuk-

When I heard the sound of people coming up the stairs, the thought vanished in an instant.

OK.

[With a cold body the next day, Mr. Kim, an instructor at academy who was working late at night...]

An ominous imagination ran through my mind.

However, he quickly shook his head and denied his imagination.

‘Hey, maybe that’s going to happen…’

But at that moment.

ton- ton- ton-

There was the sound of someone knocking on the door outside the school.

“·················ogue.”

I was a little confused, so there was no answer.

Then once again.

empty-

I heard a knock on the door as if calling me.

But when I thought about it, something strange happened.

‘Are robbers knocking on the door these days?’

It was then that I realized that I might have gone too far.

After all, no matter how dangerous the world was, it seemed unlikely that such a thing would happen even at an academy in the middle of the city.

There will be no robbers who aim for places like academies where their cash holdings are significantly lower.

Then, suddenly, I felt at ease.

I stood up, clutching my phone tightly.

If there is a vacancy, you should report it immediately.

even.

"Who are you."

I deliberately opened the door to the classroom and left with a loud voice.

OK.

outside the school glass door.

I saw a huge shadow standing tall and looking down at me.

It was too huge to be considered a human being.

The optimism I had just had before disappeared in an instant.

gulp-

The dry saliva passed through my throat.
